PDE Control of String-Actuated Motion

New adaptive and event-triggered control designs with concrete applications in undersea construction, offshore drilling, and cable elevators

Control applications in undersea construction, cable elevators, and offshore drilling present major methodological challenges because they involve PDE systems (cables and drillstrings) of time-varying length, coupled with ODE systems (the attached loads or tools) that usually have unknown parameters and unmeasured states. In PDE Control of String-Actuat...
